Ascent of Blue Angels Peak on 2008-03-10

Ascent Trip Report

Drove the car on dirt road to a junction near Valley of the Moon. Went cross country scrambling up several "peaks" until we finally found Blue Angels Peak, marked as "Smugglers Peak" on benchmark. Lots of evidence of illegal aliens. A border patrol stopped us on our way out and asked if there had been anyone else out there with us. The area made us feel a bit nervous, like we were in a potential danger zone. We were glad to put that bagged peak behind us.
